An aircraft in-flight entertainment (IFE) system includes a plurality of seat electronic boxes (SEBs) spaced throughout the aircraft. Each SEB comprises a memory including a shared memory portion for storing entertainment related data and an unshared memory portion. The SEBs cooperate with one another so that the entertainment related data in the shared memory portion of each SEB is available for at least one other SEB.
